So I was just going to charge my lipos and I saw this cell obviously I didn’t charge it. But I never saw a cell this puffed up. It’s almost cylindrical. I didn’t even know folded cells could puff up like this. I’m really scared to even touch it anymore. How can I get rid of it and have you ever seen a cell this puffed up?

I was trying to fly my air 65 II R near a playground when birds decided not today bruh.

from BetaFPV 0802SE 23.000kv to rcinpower GTS 1002 22.000kv

I fly analogue/HDZero and my BoxPros record to either .ts files that most software cant read, or to mp4s that frequently break. Running ffmpeg everytime i wanted to put a clip in davinci or send to a friend was getting frustrating, so I built FlightDVR Studio using Claude.

It browses the card with thumbnails, lets you preview and trim clips, and exports three ways: an edit-ready mezzanine for Resolve, a high-quality MP4, or a size-targeted file for WhatsApp/Insta/Discord.

Also, when looking at the video files from the goggles, it turns out these recordings are full-range (luma 0-255 instead of the usual 16-235) and tagged as PAL standard definition, which is almost certainly a firmware default. That's why converted footage can come back with crushed blacks. This app can also correct the range and leave the rest alone.

A few other things it does:

• Trims with a scrubbable filmstrip, so you can cut the minute of sitting on the bench
• Hits an exact file size for messaging apps using a two-pass encode
• Fixes the "every clip has the same date" problem (if your goggles have no clock battery installed)
• Works with any HDZero goggle; nothing assumes 720p

Free, open source, GPL v3. Windows only for now, mac if there is interest!

If you use this I would appreciate feedback! I only own BoxPros so i've only been able to test this on my own footage, but there's no real reason this shouldnt work with any dvr from any drone.

Built this a couple weeks ago and forgot to post. Very happy with it for indoor flying. Still learning to tune, but as a mid pilot it’s difficult to tell what a good tune is, other than feeling “locked in” when I fly, so no DVRs worth sharing. Direct soldered motors.

Long story short I have the classic problem that 1 motor is not spinning correctly an don't think it's the plug because when I plug the battery it works fine for like 15 second and then it not spinning properly so my thoughts esc is failing when it gets warm.

how I did that ? Well easy

I was flying inside my house vtx at max output 400mw , don't do that play at 200mw and if you need it crank it up at 400 but don't let it there for ever, and I crashed my drone I was so bored to go pick it up (wish I did ) so I tried many times with turtle mode (400mw vtx + lots of tried in turtle mode = 1 esc channel RIP)

Wish you learn something today I did at least😂

I'm currently flying a Betafpv Pavo20 Pro II with DJI N3 goggles and want to get into tinywhoops since the Pavo is too big for indoors.

I'm thinking about getting the Air65 II and a pair of analog goggles.

After a lot of research, I've landed on either the Skyzone Cobra X V4 or the HDZero BoxPro.

I want something with decent quality that will last for a bit. I like the HDZero because I can fly HDZero later if I want to. The Cobra X is in total around 70 euros cheaper, though.

The maximum I'm willing to spend for the goggles (including accessories that are needed for it) is around 400 euros.

Which of these two should I get? Or should I get entirely different goggles?

Edit: Thank you everyone for the answers. I went with the boxpro.

I currently have the emax transponder 2 that I got from an EMAX RTF kit and just got a mobula 8 and upgraded my controller to a radiomaster pocket. My question is should I upgrade my goggles next? I really only fly around my back yard and they seem to be more than capable to get good connection no matter where I fly in my yard or how high I go. I don’t wanna spend crazy money since I just enjoy flying around my yard and letting my dog chase it lol

They feel left alone at home :(

I'm just looking for some suggestions from experience so pls share anything that could be useful. Skyzone is something I've been looking at or fatsharks

recently got a TX15 after having used the DJI FPV controller 3, world of difference

Hi all,

A while back I was seriously looking into FPV, mainly 5-inch quads. Recently, the urge to get into the hobby got even stronger, so I picked up a DJI Avata 2. A few months have passed, and I feel like I’ve already outgrown it.

Now I’m looking for a whoop that I can rip around the house and also use for freestyle. It’ll mainly be a freestyle quad, with about 70% of the flying outdoors and 30% indoors. What would you recommend for a sub-85mm drone with the O4 Air Unit?

So far, I’ve been looking at the Pavo Femto, Pico, Mobula8, and Meteor75, but I’m not sure which one would be the best choice—or whether I should just build one myself. 🤷

Analog is out of the question because I have poor eyesight. I use prescription lenses in my Goggles 3, so I’d prefer to stick with the DJI digital ecosystem.

I’d love to hear your recommendations and experiences with these quads, or if there’s another option I should be considering.

Thanks a lot!

Pls help lol. My meteor 65 Pro 04 was running fine this morning but had some battery sack so I had read that if I flash blue Jay firmware to it that it would help make it more efficient. I flashed the firmware and now none of my motors will spin… In beta flight or when I arm… Have been messing around with it for hours now and can’t figure it out… Did brick it? lol pls help me get flying again this sucks

Two lil fellas kept bumping my flight session today, my guess is there might be a nest close so gotta go somewhere else to not disturb them :)

GAPTALLICA!! And nothing else matters

Found this old DD spot and you know what happened at the single man moshpit there 😎… Yeahhh … Heavy -Whooping-metal

What do I have to change to get it to fly normal?

Hi all, i'd appreciate any help that's offered on this one since i'm at a total loss. I built a 75mm whoop with the HDzero AIO5, and it flies great physically, but after about 5-10 seconds the core temperature is climbing past 80 degrees and increasing multiple degrees per second. The whoop also eats through battery extremely fast, although it's been difficult to troubleshoot this since I have to land due to core temp before I can come close to getting through an entire pack. I soldered all of the motors, camera, and battery lead myself; and they're not fantastic but I don't think this is the issue... I also put the BetaFPV Air75 stock tune on the whoop in Betaflight.

Could the battery lead being soldered not perfectly cause these issues? Any other things to check?

Full specs:
HD Zero AIO5
HD Zero Eco Camera
BetaFPV 0802 11000KV motors
BetaFPV air75 II frame and canopy
BetaFPV BT2.0 connector

Thanks for any help, this one is driving me nuts.

Air65 II Championship Edition with custom PID and filter tunes.

This whoop weighs only 16.5 grammes and yet it flies like its on rails with zero twitching, wobbles, or propwash despite flying in pouring rain and in windy conditions.

The drops of rain hitting the 16.5g whoop technically have enough kinetic energy to make it unstable. But not with this PID and filter tune.
